William Lane Craig tries to play science with Lawrence Krauss.

…and Krauss metaphorically backhands him into the Stone Age. Pro tip: if you’re going to misrepresent physics and quote-mine physicists, maybe don’t do it in a public debate with the guy that many consider to be the world’s greatest living physicist.

I’ve listened through this twice today while reading the news and writing. Pure gold. I especially like the point Krauss makes where he says he has explained to Craig how he mangles the science and Craig continues to use the same arguments. Krauss says he no longer thinks WLC is a dishonest charlatan, I think Krauss helped to confirm that he is.
